I wonder how many people actually buy an entirely new pc when something is wrong vs. figuring out what their technical problem is. Don't laugh, it is frequently not worth fixing some problems because the price of fixing is almost half the cost of a new computer that has all the latest stuff and is several generations faster. Like just recently someone asked me to put a bigger hard drive in an old computer. After he paid for the hard drive and then paid me to put it in, he was halfway there. I had to format the drive and install the operating system on another computer to get it to work on his machine because his old computer couldn't recognize such a big drive and his windows disk was one of those old format and restore without options disks. So I put it on a newer computer, did a format restore and then moved it over to the old machine. Now I just got an email from him saying he thinks he wants to go ahead and just buy a new one, because he has other issues. I tried to talk him into getting a new one in the first place, rather than fixing.
